Speaker 1

You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump pulls back on a strike on Iran, and the left and the Democrats are angry at him over it. They say it shows that he's erratic. No surprise there, but the President knows that the Iranians need to change their ways. Welcome to that. Plus the fight over the ice raids that have not happened yet, we'll get into allegations over a leak and what AOC is telling illegals across the country that in more coming up on the buck Sexton Show.

This is the buck Sexton Show or the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American, You're a great American Again, the buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now. I think a lot of restraint has been shown by us, a lot of restraint, and that doesn't mean we're going to show it in the future. But I felt that we want to give this a chance, give it a

good chance. The Supreme Leader of Iran is one who ultimately is responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime. He's respected within his country, his office overseas, the regime's most brutal instruments, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. For these measures represent a strong and proportionate response to Iran's increasingly provocative actions. We will continue to increase pressure on Terran until the regime abandons its dangerous activities and aspirations, including

the pursuit of nuclear weapons. Welcome to the Bucks actions show, everybody. Resident Trump making the right move here deciding that we would not fire on Iranian targets in response to their doubting of a one hundred and thirty million dollars US grown. There were reports over the weekend of a possible cyber attack on some Iranian targets, but we decided not to go kinectic and involving casualties, which was the right move.

But as I predicted at the time, and I've said on Twitter as well as here on this show, the left would find a way to criticize Donald Trump for not taking lives and being judicious and statesmanlike and wise in his use of his powers as commander in chief, which is exactly what I believe he did here. The left found a problem with this anyway, Now, before I get into how they managed to spin this as somehow a bad thing that Donald Trump did, which is exactly

what has happened. Let me say that they would have absolutely hammered him had this gone the other way. If President Trump had ordered these strikes and one hundred or one hundred and fifty or more Iranians were killed, including I would assume some civilians, although maybe mostly military personnel, but even still military personnel, those are Iranian lives as well. And we don't want to kill people unnecessarily from any country.

But even if he had done that, they would be saying, what a war monger, what a monster, he's terrible, he's crazy, he's a sexist, he's a rapist, he's all these horrible things, right, That's what they would have said. Instead, Trump pulls back and says, no, we're not going to do this. I decided we're not going to do this. And what you have are Democrats going forward to say that. Now, the

criticism is that he's erratic. Oh, let's let's criticize the process of the commander in chief not ordering for a lethal strike that could have killed hundreds of people and instead trying to give diplomacy and continued discussion a chance. Here. Remember, they did not shoot down an armed America. If they shot down it's rather a manned American plane. If they shot down a plane they killed our people, I'd say, you know, blood for blood, we got to do it.

They shot down a drone, all right, We've now maybe taken some according to the the reports, some cyber response to this, but the President has let it be known that the next time there's going to be hell to pay. And I think the Iranians know that they should take that seriously. But sometimes it's Maximus the Merciful for those of you who know the movie Gladiator, and this time around, that was the choice that the President made. I think it

was the right one. That Democrats came out criticizing this as erratic, as if consistency in ordering a military strike is something that should they should strive for it. It's not even clear what they think their critics sism is other than just Trump equals bad Orange man equals bad on face the nation. Senator Bernie Sanders described this as Trump's actions to quote, somebody setting a fire a basket full of paper and then putting it out. So what are starting a fire a basket full of paper and

then putting it out. See, we didn't even have to go to the audio, because I can do it for you. Senator Kamala Harris told CBS is Ed O'Keefe, I don't believe that anyone should receive credit for a crisis of their own making. Huh. Corey Booker said that Trump's hailing of around was meant to quote, even when there are strikes on tankers, we see again our allies very skeptical to even believe us. Right now. This has been folly.

There is no strategy here. We have a president that seems to be doing this like a reality TV show and trying to build more drama and trying to make foreign policy by tweet my friends end quote here. Oh we've got Harris saying this play fifteen. I don't believe that anyone should receive credit for a crisis of their own making. There is no question in my mind that the current occupant of the White House, President Trump, put in place a series of events that led to that event.

How when a President Harris fixed the problem? Well, frankly, I believe that we need to get back into the arounnuclear deal. It was an agreement that was being complied with by all parties. It cannot be the goal to express one's ego and to engage in gamesmanship without much serious regard to the consequence. And I think that's what

we've seen in this president. Let's just pull apart the nonsense that Kambala Harris is spewing here one when she says all parties agreed to President Obama agreed to President Trump did not. This was not a treaty ratified by the Senate. This was one president saying I'm going to do this thing, and believe it or not. Obama's not president for life. He was not Emperor Obama. He was president for eight years. Now he's not. Now there's a

new president. This president doesn't like some of the decisions that Obama made, doesn't like a lot of the decisions Obama made, and he's allowed to undo them or make different choices. This is the system. We have Democrats always talking about the system and undermining it. And what Obama hath done is not written in stone for all eternity, despite what they might like. You know, if he wanted something with greater permanence, he should have taken it to

the Senate. There should have been a ratified treaty. That is not what happened here one administration's foreign Paul Oh. It turns out President Trump agrees with me on this. Producer Mike says, I don't even realize this playclip seventeen. We would love to be able to negotiate a deal if they want to. If they don't want to, that's fine too, But we would love to be able to and frankly, they might as well do it soon. It's very sad what's happening to that country. The deal shouldn't

never been done. It wasn't ratified by Congress, wasn't properly as you know, as a treaty. It wasn't properly done. It was incorrectly done. But we'll get it properly done. Yeah, you know, he says, they can either do it or not. This was always, let me say, before Obama came along with a foreign policy team equal parts arrogant and incompetent.

Before Obama came along, it was very much the policy of the United States, on a near bipartisan basis or somewhat bipartisan basis, to put pressure on Iran to capitulate over its nuclear program. It was not to take all the pressure that had been building on Iran and say, okay, you can keep all of your nuclear stuff. Just don't do any more nuclear stuff for a little while, and we'll give you all the access in the international markets. You need to become much richer, much more powerful, much

more enmeshed in the banking system. Continue all of your malign activity across the Middle East, but they'll continue your ballistic missiles. But just put a little push the pause button on your nuclear program. That was never what the initial pressure campaign on Iran was supposed to be about. It. It's not push the pause button so that you can push play at any time. And now we see that's

exactly what they've done. They're saying they're going to enrich You're in from three percent twenty percent, and from twenty percent up to ninety percent, ninety percent its weapons grade. Well, that that didn't take it. You know this all of a sudden, we're talking for this again. It's not like, oh wait, but the Iran Deal was in place. I thought, No, the Iran Deal didn't do anything to stop Iran from

getting nukes. In fact, it created essentially a clear pathway to a nuclear Iran, which was considered from the outset to be unacceptable to the parties that put together the strategy of economic pain on the Iranian regime and yes, the Iranian state and people to get a change in

their behavior. It was not economic pain to get the Iranians to the table so that Obama could create some perception of a foreign policy win, so would not look like eight years of American hard and soft power were wasted under an incompetent Democrat administration, which is exactly what happened. You want to talk about narcissism and arrogance. The Obama administration put everything into this Iran deal because it was the only way they could create a talking point that

their foreign policy was not a failure. Let's just do a quick review, shall we. Syria success or failure, Libya success or failure, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Pick a country. Where was the foreign policy success with the Obama administration? Where did we actually get change that was meaningful from a foreign ally or partner under the Obama You know, yeah, he antagonized Israel a lot, which the left like in this country. What else did he do

that was good? He surged true in Afghanistan to over one hundred thousand, dramatically increasing casualties, especially of our brave marines in Helmand and Kandahar. And for what what was the strategy to make it look like Obama could be

tough on Afghanistan? That was it. That was it. And of course, you know, a rock pull out, didn't want to status the forces agreement, didn't get one pulled out, precipitously, ices fills in the vacuum and we don't know what happened from there, and then the other Syrian civil war going. I mean, just Obama was a disaster on foreign policy, a disaster. And these people like Ben Rhodes, these are not good people. These are not people that I think even really try hard to do the right things and

just mess up. They're just not good people. They're a little petty, smarmy propagandists. The top Obama advisor on foreign policies, Samantha Power, Susan Rice ben Roth, these are not good people, and that was reflected in the foreign policy. That was reflected in the choices that were being made. They do not share your philosophy of America or right and wrong for that matter, when it comes to nation states and their interactions and so now we have to hear from

those who failed for eight years. Oh my gosh, how could Trump have gotten us out of this foreign policy? How could he have done this? The Irondealist was this was such a brilliant master stroke of statecraft. Saying that he is erratic is interesting, isn't it? Because Trump came in in a sense to office because he's erratic. I remember, and many of you were telling me this early on.

Many of you saw this before I did. I remember when you were saying that Trump is being brought into smash things, that Trump is coming in because he will do it differently, because he's not going to just take the DC swamp consensus and run with it. He came in to smash, if not the system, at least the blockages in the system, the parts of it that do

not function, that do not work. And one area where I certainly hope the President can fight back and smash back is on not getting pulled into another war in the Middle East. I understand that military, limited military strikes and war are not the exact same thing. I also know that limited strikes in many other contexts lead to less limited strikes leads to an air campaign leads to a no fly zone, leads to you know, this is what happens, and we just don't want to make this

our problem anymore. And they're over the weekend. There are stories that there are Trump advisors that really do want regime change. They think that they think that now is the time for regime change. Now is the time that

the Iranian molos will finally be toppled to. You have to also remember that there are very powerful people in DC, in the Pentagon, in the White House, in the think tank community, which still doesn't have a lot of influence with the public, that has a lot of influence with the policy community, that they have been waiting decades for this opportunity in their minds to finally delay deathblow to

the Iranian regime. And they will feel very justified in pushing this president in that direction to try to take it. And I'm here to say, no, this is not our fight, this is not our time, this is not what we should be doing. We tell the Iranians, you hit us, We're going to hit you back much harder. We don't want any of this. Though Iran could make the economic pain stop tomorrow, stop trying to be a nuclear power. You're a belligerent, you're a state sponsor of terror, and

we've got you where we want you. Iran, you want to be a normal country. We're going to bring you into being a normal country. You want to act like this, We're going to treat you like the state sponsor of terror that you are and not let up because we want to get editorials written about us in the w Washington Post, the New York Times and make it sounds like the administration is doing a good job. No, they must seed any belief and rite to a nuclear weapons program, period,

full stop. That's what has to happen. And they have to stop their support of terror, and they have to stop undermining our allies in the region in ways that normal countries don't do. We don't have this, you know, we're not just picking on Iran for no reason. We don't have this problem with Bangladesh. We don't have this problem with Ethiopia. You know, we're not running around just picking countries at random and saying do what we say

or else. The Iranian state has brought this on itself and it should pay the price and pay the consequences. But that does not mean invasion. It does not mean regime change. It does not mean this is our problem to fix. We've cut them off financially. They know our terms. They can either meet them or suffer the consequences that should be our post toward them. And I think Trump

gets that. And the fact that Democrats are whining about it and acting like Trump is somehow in the here just goes to show you that, even when it comes to life to saving human lives, Pelosi and Booker and Harris and the rest of them would rather score points against Trump than let men and women in Iran go back home to their families for at least another day. Tells you a lot about what the opposition is all about.

We'll be right back. I'm not looking for war, and if there is, it'll be obliteration like you've never seen before. But I'm not looking to do that. But you can't have a nuclear weapon. You want to talk good Otherwise you can have a bad economy for the next three years, not as far as I'm concerned, no preconditions. That seems like the proper positioning to me. Why isn't that right? What about what Trump is saying there is problematic? What

about what Trump is putting forward. What should anybody who knows anything about this disagree with saying you can't have nuclear weapons. He's saying, you know, you can deal with this, or you can go on as is. And he said that there are certainly people in his administration that come from different sides of this, which I think is a good thing. Don't we want the president to hear both sides of the issue? Play fourteen? He can't have nuclear weapons,

and if you want to talk about it, good. Otherwise you can live in a shattered economy for a long time to come. If you are you do you feel like you were being pushed into military action against iron by any of your advices. I have two groups of people. I have doves and have hawks. You have some have some hawks. John Bolden was absolutely a hawk. Is up to him, he'd take on the whole world at one time. Okay, But that doesn't matter because I want both sides, Isn't it?

Isn't it amazing how this president on both sides, is trying to be deliberative and thoughtful about as important issue as faces any commander in chief, issues of war in peace. And they've been saying, they've been saying that he is the problem. You know, the establishment is saying that he's the one that's pushing us closer war, that he's the one that can't be trusted, and Obama and Bush midiast wars, that we did not have to fight Trump trying to

keep us out of a Midiast war. He gets no support, including from Democrats who are generally opposed to all US military interventions abroad. They're still finding a way to make Trump the problem instead of giving him credit where it's due. We will make a full and complete education a human right in America to which all of our people are entitled. This means making public colleges, universities, and HBCUs tuition free

and debt free. This proposal completely eliminates student debt in this country and ends the absurdity of sentencing an entire generation, the millennial generation, to a lifetime of debt for the crime of doing the right thing, and that is going out and getting a higher education. Our proposal, which costs two point two trillion over ten years, will be fully paid for by a tax on Wall Street speculation, similar to what exists in dozens of countries around the world.

Oh here we go, Bertie. Third, This is gonna give rid of one point seven trillion dollars of student loan debt all at once, one point six trillion gone, just disappeared in the couch cushions. It's pretty amazing, isn't it. Bernie Sanders saying that if you have outstanding student loan debt, it will just disappear under his administration. I'm sure this is very populous. And folks, this is problematic, my friends, It's terrible idea. Really. That's not to say there won't

be people who benefit from it. I know probably a lot of you listen to this and be like, wow, Buck, that'd be kind of cool. It'd be nice to be free of student loan debt. Okay. But his plan is different than Elizabeth Warren's plan. Elizabeth Warren's plan from a couple of months ago was to and this is you're now seeing the progressive fight that we all knew was coming between Warren and Sanders. Warren and Sanders, here's a I think Warren's gonna win this, meaning she's gonna beat Sanders.

I think Warren is going to become the progressive Candida, I think, my friends, despite her DNA debacle, I think Warren maybe the Democratic candidate. I know it's I know you're saying, fuck right now, there's you're her driving, Please please drive safely, keep keep your eyes on the road ahead of you. You're probably you know, throwing something out the window. Yeah, I think that there could be warned. Democrats don't. They didn't care the Clinton lied and was

and had all the baggage that he had. They don't care about Warren's baggage. She gives them a lot of what of what do they want? She really does. She fills in a lot of the boxes for them. So a woman which they still haven't gotten over the whole Hillary didn't break the ultimate glass ceiling thing. It's very progressive. She has, you know, the impressive academic background, not earned by being an impressive academic, but she does have the background.

She does have the resume. So Warren is very very real. Back in contention again, it's just this is the world we live in now, where she can be a bizarro and a liar and a fraud, but Democrats are like, so what Her plan, though, for whatever it's worth, was more realistic as these things go. It would have capped all debt forgiveness for student loans for each individual at fifty thousand dollars and would have also tapered off for households that earn over six figures. Sanders is just TABULARASA

clean slate. It's a party baby going down to zero, no more student loans, that's what he's telling you. They all go away, all they all go by by. Well, who pays for that? You say, because there's debt owed to somebody. That's what student loans, you know, debt means there's a counterparty's somebody. Also in this case, the federal government has backstop these loans. The money has already been

paid at the university. So the federal government, I suppose, just pretends like this money was never owed, comes from somewhere, is going to come from somewhere else. I mean, what is the real financial mechanism it's going to be used here? That's not even all that clear. But there are so many problems in this in the implementation, never mind in the conceptualization, which I'll also get into. Almost forty percent of student loan debt that has been has been taken

out at this point is for graduate at schools. These are people who are in many cases specializing in and trying to advance their professional careers. And this is something that I know of because you are listening to a radio host who got into media because my choices were mba program and a couple one hundred thousand dollars of

debt by the time I paid it off. Or take a job with a little company called the Blaze, and this guy named Glenn Beck, who took a chance on a kid that had never done media before, turned out to be pretty darn good at it. And thank you Glenn, by the way, and I'm always going to be thankful to Glenn for the opportunity. But it was no small part of my decision making process to be like cool new company with a paycheck, Or go to a fancy business school and just start running the running the the

clock on massive loans. Big loans, you know, something like seventy five thousand a year, because you have to take out living expenses too. And then by the time you pay that off, if you paid it off on the schedule, it ends up being two hundred two hundred fifty thousand dollars. You're paying off for two years of school. Folks. Okay, I looked at that and I said nah. You know, I came out of the government. I had very meager savings.

Ninety five percent of you listening to this, I'm sure I had more money in the bank that I did after six years in the intelligence community, and I just decided that I wasn't gonna do this. So I look at this and I say, oh, okay, So you know, I could have gone to that Ivy League NBA program and taken out two or fifty thousand dollars loans and like have it all just wiped away for me. I still would have done the media thing, but I'm just saying that, you know, that would have been a more

difficult decision at the time. Oh, don't worry, buck. At some point the socialist is going to come along and be like, guess what, it's all free. That's right, Happy New Year to me. No more debt. So a lot of this is for graduate degree programs, which is you you'd have to wonder. So now we're gonna make you know, we're gonna make it easier for lawyers and doctors to pay off their debts. But meanwhile, what about people that got jobs right out of school or didn't even go

to college and just we're working. Do we pay off their mortgages? Do we pay off their credit card debt? Does individual choice matter at all? Here? I mean, this isn't Nobody was fooled by the price of their of their college tuition. They were told what it was, they signed on for this, and yeah, the truth is college is too expensive. That is that is the truth. College is too expensive, It is too long, it is too expensive.

Grad programs are too expensive. These universities have become bloated, full of administrators and just massive budgets and the endowments they have, it's just crazy. They're like multinational corporations. You look at the you know, Harvard has a twenty billion dollars endowment. These places have so much money. They have so much money, and the tuitions are still so expensive

at these schools. I know some of them are going towards free because they have so much money, they're not going towards free tuition, but most of them you still pay fifty fifty five thousand a year. Or some of you were like, what, you know, my state school was great. It was maybe fifteen grand in state, maybe ten grand in state tuition, and that's first, you know, a good state school fifty five. My college AMers fifty plus thousand

dollars a year for four years. You know, I mean, you look at this and it's all about credentialing too. It's really not about skills training. The skills training comes more in the grad programs. The grad programs go toward higher earning potential. That's why people generally do it. All if you want to get a PhD in eighteenth century

French literature, God bless. But people look at this program they say, well, this is in a sense, this is socializing the costs of higher education for the upper middle class, which is predominantly wide and predominantly pretty well off. And this is Bernie Sanders big idea. This is gonna, this is gonna, you know, so help the country. What about

bringing down the cost of these schools. How about some pressure on them, because right now, with the federal government backstopping all of these loans, the schools have no risk. They just keep raising prices, raising prices. Higher education has become this cartel where they have they have buyers that they know are going to be there for their product,

and they can take them on loans. They can bring them in and let them get paid, even though they're all A lot of them are taking out loans to pay for these institutions because there's really nothing, you know, there's really nothing in terms of risk. This is a problem. People should think long and hard before they take out a massive loan. I try to live life debt free. I do not like debt. Debt for education under very specific circumstances is okay, But you got to know what

you're doing. And it's buy or beware. And debt for a home and you better love that home, not as an investment or anything out you know, that's your home, right, These are those are the only debts. Not that I'm a financial advisor or anything, but I just debt is bad. You do not want to be living in debt. You certainly don't want credit card debt. You don't want, you know, car loan debt. You don't want to have that kind of debt at all. Student loan debt is a popular issue.

It will mobilize voters. This will, but this is a giveaway. And this is a giveaway that is privileging. It's picking winners and losers in the market. And I sit here and tell you that I made a choice and My choice was to work, to work for not a lot of money and a very uncertain job where it could have been fired any day. And thank you Glenn for

not firing me. But I could have been fired any day, or I could have gone to a very fancy I got into very fancy NBA programs and realize that the debts that I would incur in those programs were just going to be a problem for me. And I wanted to get married. I'm working on it, i know, and I want to start a family and do all these things. And I didn't want to have a couple hundred thousand dollars a dead hanging over my head. So I made

a choice. And now at Bernie Sanders and to a lesser sent Elizabeth Warren saying is yeah, but you know, the people that made the other choice, they actually made the right choice, because the government says, so we're going to bail them out, you know. You know, at some point we also have to ask, if everyone's education is paid for all the way through college, that means everyone's more or less going to go through college. And if everyone's going to go through college, then how much is

college really worked as a credentialing program. And if it's not really worth that much as a credentialing program, meaning that you're not going to get some great job because you went to a four year college, then what is really the worth of that four year education. Wouldn't it be better? Wouldn't people be better served to have a much more rigorous high school education and then immediate professional job training or go into a career field and then maybe go to college after that. I wish I had

had a year or two. I mean, I think the norm of a year to either do service or do a job. I think that every eighteen year old in the country who has never done it would benefit from showing up to a place at a certain time and being told do this thing, and I will give you money at the end of the day or the end of the week or whatever it is, and no one's celebrating your showing up, and no one's giving you a trophy, and you know you have responded, and if you mess up,

you get fired. I think everybody would benefit from that. Who hasn't. I know a lot of you will say, buck, I was doing that when I was thirteen. You know, some of you were Ron Swanson style running the sawmill when you were twelve, whatever it is. I'm just saying it's a good thing to understand that responsibility. It also means that when someone tells you, hey, so now you're gonna have four years, or maybe it's less than that. So maybe some are going to two year junior colleges,

but let's just say it's four years. That's what a standard undergrad program is. Your four years to just study and learn and improve and get better. You really think about that differently when you've because you know, I've had I've done jobs where no one cares that you're there. No one is patting you on the back and telling you, oh,

you're so great or you're so wonderful. I mean, I know all of you have had this too, Right, you do a job where you're just labor, you know, I've I've carried hot equipment around in the sun for very little money at a day camp. I mean, I've done things you're like, what and not fun jobs? Not fun jobs, you know, not even as a coach, just as like the equipment manager guy. I mean, and I've done things you're like, oh, and for very little money, and it

gives you an appreciation for someone telling you. And this is why the loans matter as well. The loans are responsibility. It's about making responsible choices. We cannot make this kind of determination in society from the government on down, where all of a sudden, some people's choices are ratified because it's polittedly convenient, while the rest of us who have lived debt free, who have paid off our loans, where pay off our mortgages and working really hard to do

or to told them, why isn't my debt canceled? And all never even I haven't even gotten into the economic implications and the tax implications of free college for everybody and free you know this, free for everybody's stuff. This is dangerous, folks, This is bad. This leads down a very very destructive path for our economy. There's a whole philosophical underpinnings here. What does it mean to individual choice and responsibility? And you know, the changing relationship between citizen

and state. But I don't even have time to get it all that today. We'll have to revisit this probably tomorrow. And I don't even I don't even even get to the immigration stuff that's going on right now, which is huge but we got this woman who is accusing Trump of rape. We've got to talk about that. The next hour, I got Central Park five stuff I wanted to update you on. I got a lot of show folks. So stick around following the asylum process, the legal standards when

they're here. So should they be prosecuted? Should they be deported? I don't like this deportation thing at all, and I think Trump uses this as a beginning to do worst things to come. So when I bespoke to the President, I said, look, I'm a mom. I have five kids, nine grandchildren, and your children are scared. You're scaring the children of America, not just in those families, but their neighbors and their communities. You're scaring the children. You're scaring

the children. Nancy Pelosi's argument on immigration summed up in one sound. But I guess that's what this is now, You're scaring the children. Let me say that children are scared when their parents get arrested for anything. Doesn't mean you don't feel bad for the kids, but children are scared. Children are separated from their parents as well, over tax fraud, over possession of drugs, oh over weapons possession. Cases that

are sometimes very murky and very anti Second Amendment. I mean, there's a lot of reasons people get separated from their families and where children get scared, but only on illegal immigration is it okay to break the law? And all we should care about is what does the family that's affected by this thing. I don't hear Nancy Pelosi's shedding tears for people that are engaged in medicare fraud who get separated from their kids, or who engage in tax

fraud who gets separated from their kids. And no person could ever make the case to me with a straight face that one instance of tax fraud does anything to anybody. The only victim of that crime is the state. And it's at a level that is so insignificant that who really cares. Ah, But it's deterrence enforcement, right, It's meant to send a message, is illegal immigration bad or not?

This is the fundamental question that Democrats cannot answer, or if they do answer it, they tell us what they won't then say up on the debate stage this week, which is coming up in just a couple of days here, which is that no, they don't think anything is really wrong with the legal immigration. They just want to manage it. They just want to be more in control of illegal immigration, but they don't want to stop it. They don't want to deter it, they don't want to infor the laws

on the books. This is a problem. This is a problem. My friends, Bernie Sanders coming on saying deport that there should be no deportation. If we're not going to deport people that have already had all their days in court and have been found by that court to not have any legal right to stay in the country. If they

don't get deported, who does. Remember these are people that have had their say, they've showed up, they've done all, and now they've just decided that they're not going to show up for rather their final date, or they're just going to avoid the authorities and hide when they're supposed to be deported. I mean, Democrats are in favor of lawlessness.

That's what this is. Let's speak plainly about it, and they better pay the price at the ballot box in twenty twenty or else we are heading for mass amnesty and a very different country going forward. Would you consider bringing a rape charge account Trump for this? Why not? I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection. They're young women, they've you know, tried to come into the they're as you know,

they're there by the thousand. The women have very little protection there. It would just be disrespectful if I, you know, and mine was three minutes. I'm a mature woman. I can handle it. I can keep going. You know, my life has gone on. I'm a happy woman. But for the women down there, and for the women actually around the world. You know, in every culture this is going on, no matter high in society or low in society, it just seems disrespectful that I would bring it just doesn't

make sense to me. That's e Gene Carol, the woman who just last week and got a whole bunch of publicity from it, as I'm sure she knew she would, and I believe that was a large part of why she brought this up. Ee Gene Carroll, who was has now claimed in a book that is just coming out. So the timing is certainly from a book sales perspective, very fortuitous for her. That Donald Trump in a Barneys

or Berg Dwarf Goodman. I forget which one one of this storied department store in New York City, had a brief encounter with her, pushed her into a dressing room and forcibly raped her against her will. And she said it lasting about three minutes, and that's her story. And she did not raise any official complaint at the time, did not go to the police. That's it. Nothing else. And now we are left once again to based on

a woman's word decades after the fact. Right, this isn't a woman's word from last night where there's automatically going to be verifiable thing. Were you in the place where this thing was said to have happened. Was the person that you claim attacked you in the place where you said this? This is how investigation works. I'm familiar with this.

You verify all the known facts, you see if the story lines up, and you know, this is why when it comes to a defense against an allegation of rape, the two general pathways are either it was consensual, which can be a tough thing to prove or disprove, and that's you know, that's going to be a court fight and that can be tough, or I wasn't in that city that night. Because sometimes despite what you hear from the media there are completely disconnected from reality, wildly false

claims of rape made against people in fact. A. Tucker Crowson has spoken about this before publicly and several occasions where he was accused by rape of when he was at CNN of a woman he had never met in a city he had never been to. She was deeply mentally ill, but she followed the claim. And the police, when they have a woman, if they believe it's credible, they can arrescue just on that. They can just decide to pick you up. And now you're now you're being

processed for a rape charge. So you can imagine how that would go or you know how that would make you feel, even if you knew you would never met the person. I'd never been in that city. But so that's why the distance from the event is relevant here. You know, if it's a day ago, a month ago, a year ago, you know, maybe four or five years ago, even you might have some chance of verifying. There's no way to verify any of this, none of it. This is Kavanaugh two point oh, this is all over again.

You know, she she there's nothing, she doesn't have a receipt from that day, she doesn't know nothing. Now she says she has the dress that she wore. Okay, well, how do we know that? I mean, I would be curious to know if I don't know, if thirty years later they could expect to find, you know, DNA evidence on it, but that would be interesting. But then again, I'd be wanting to know if you know, a whole bunch of things here, like why'd she wait this long?

Why the timing of this, and what is Donald Trump supposed to do in response? And all these women who come forward and say that the Donald Trump has actually assaulted them, none of them thought to ever make a complaint to the police. Why because of what notice? How these claims remain untested by the medium, by the public. They're out there, but they don't really chase them down, just like they didn't chase down Julie Sweatnick. Julie Swetnick is a crazy person. She's a liar. She was the

third accuser of Brett Cavanaugh. She wasn't confused, she wasn't misremembering. She is a crazy person seeking attention. She's a liar. I believe the second woman as well is a liar. And I think that Blasi Ford is unfortunate that she is. I think that she's mentally ill, but I don't know. I think that she believes what she is saying. But she wouldn't be the first person that misremember something from thirty years ago and with mental illness behind it or

involved in some capacity. And I don't mean mental illnesses. And she's not, you know, not of sound mind entirely, but you know, I think she has probably deep depression and anxiety issues, and you know, has got stuff to work out. I think she was wrong about what she said about Kavanaugh for many, many reasons. But this is the slimiest and most underhanded tactic that you can really

think of. The I'm going to fight against my political enemies by making accusations that destroy their character, destroy their reputation, that they have no means of really disproving, you know, effectively dispelling these allegations. And it's just it's the ultimate

smear tactic you know, think of. And that's why the Kavanaugh situation was such a wake up call for many of us, because they could do this to anyone and all these journalists I saw who were refusing to accept that very simple fact we're idiots, and their disgrace to their profession, which is supposed to be able to facts and information that could be done to anyone. Anyone listening to this broadcast that's been on the earth long enough.

You know, someone could come up and say that you in a you know, in the town that you lived in thirty years ago, they saw you behind a quickie mart and you know you did something terrible to them. And how do you prove it? They're lying. You can't prove it all, you know, how do you prove it a lie? You can't. They can just say this just just ruin you. Oh but I always knew. I said

it from the beginning. Meat too would be weaponized against conservatives, and it was really building all along to be weaponized against Kavanaugh. You know, it was a real movement. As often by the way, you know, this is like when you think of you know, Marxist revolutionaries, there are real

problems in the societies. When they come along and say they are real problems, you know that the you know, the czars in Russia were corrupt and we're not connected to the people and we're brutal and okay, but that doesn't mean that the new regime can come in and do whatever the heck it wants. But that's what ends up happening in the Me Too movement. Yes, there are bad actors that have been found by it, that it's a good thing that they've been taken down as a result.

But what then happened is they go, oh, okay, so we have all this power and out of takedown powerful men, so let's use this for political purposes and destroy Kavanaugh. And that's what they did, or they tried to. That was a close fought battle. Kavanaugh just barely made it through. Ejean Carol. I don't find her allegation to be credible. I'm surprised that some of the people on the right that I've seen who say they do think it's credible. I do not find it credible. I think she is

not telling the truth. I don't know if she knows she's not telling the truth. I think she's not telling the truth. And I think that it's also utterly bizarre that when asked why she won't because forcible rape in New York City there's no statute of limitations on it. If you forcibly rape somebody, the charge can be brought at any time. Why you want to bring it because of the women on the border. What does that have

to do with anything? How is that relevant? I mean, this is like saying, why don't you bring a rape charge against Donald Trump? You say he raped you. Imagine if the woman said, well, I really dislike his tax policy, so I don't want to confuse things. You'd think that that was that was completely bizarre. Right, Well, that's in a sense what happened here. You got a bizarre answer, something that has nothing to do with anything, and that's

how she responds on TV. And then there were other things she said too, about how she wished she had gotten his tax returns. I mean she's a part, isn't. Obviously she's a left wing columnist, kind of one of these like life advice sex columnist people, I think, sex advice columnists. I don't know exactly what kind of advice she gives, but you know, I'm assuming it's like a dear It is a dear, dear Abbey, or I guess dear Jean in this case, Mark, what what's the who's

the famous advice columnist? You know what I'm talking about? Anyway, I don't it's dear Abbey, Dear Abbey, that's right, thank you, Mike. Um. So, yeah, she's one of those. I mean, hey, producer, Mike, am I allowed, I don't want to get you in hot water because I know you got to go back to Brooklyn and there's a lot of like lives running around there. But I mean, do you do you find I think

this woman sounds sounds a little nuts. Yeah, it doesn't sound right at all because one of the things you actually were saying with the dress, she gave a really crazy explanation for that interview that we played I believe was from MSNBCA stall Are talking to CNM and she was asked about the dress and her answer for that was even more off the wall than the answer she gave about you know, the whole story, like she was afraid to look at it or something. And it just

doesn't lie enough to me. Yeah, she's afraid to look at it, but she wants to go on TV and talk about it right exactly. No, this is folks, you know, this is why all we have is our ability to think through these issues and try to be fair minded in our approach to them. And I do not find her allegation credible. I do not think that this is a real I don't think that. I do not believe for one second. There's zero percent of me that believes Donald Trump raped this woman, zero percent of me that

believes that We'll be right back. We have a picture of it because you're on the front page of New York magazine. This is the exactly the outfit that you were wearing the day that you say the attack happened. You have kept that dress. You've never worn it again. You say, have you ever dry landon? No. The thing is, we all have dresses. You just hang them in the closets. Something bad. You didn't have a good time worrying it, and you never put it on again because it's just

a bad luck dress. I never felt like putting it on again. I did not turn it into a talisman. I didn't wrap it in plastic. I didn't think. I just didn't want to put it on again. I guess my question is is could there be any DNA and no idea? I do not know if the president ejaculated have no idea, wouldn't just be that. Pardon me for playing that on air, but that is that is what was played on CNN today. Their DNA is not just that folks, there's you leave DNA hair and and you know, yeah,

there's a lot of ways that DNA can get left behind. Um. And if she's telling the truth, yeah, let's let's see it. Let's let let's put that in a forensic laboratory and see what they come up with. I'm willing to bet they won't come up with anything. But notice how she just wouldn't. Wouldn't if you were her and you thought that, if you were E Jean Carroll and you really believe that Donald Trump did this to you and someone, and

she's never thought of that before, I would not. No one's ever brought up to her that she could have that. Even at this point, DNA doesn't fade. I mean DNA can last decades. So I mean it fades, but it can last for a very long time, much longer than say fingerprints. Will Um, what is it that is stopping her then from doing it? But you'll see she goes, well, you know, I don't really you know, she's not interested.

Why is she not interested? Don't you want to don't you want to get the guy that did this to you? He's the president the United States? To be quite a story, that's because you're lying. I mean, she's lying. They can tell me, Oh Buck, you can't say that she has a right to be believed. Really, did Jennifer Flowers have a right to be believed of Bill Clinton? We can play this game all day. I listen to the facts of individual cases and decide whether or not they are credible.

I'm trying to get to the truth always here on this show and in general life. I do not find her story credible, and I think that those who do find it credible are blinded by their hatred for Trump. Let's also just one other component of this that does not get nearly the thought that I think it should hear. Is so, Donald Trump meets a woman in one of the most storied department stores in the world. And I just mean that in that it's very crowded and there's

a lot of security. There's a lot of people there, and he doesn't know this woman at all. So he has no belief that there's some social pressure that she would keep quiet, or you know, that they've had dalliances before and he could maybe get away with pushing the envelope or something like that. He doesn't know this woman says some thing to her and then pushes her into a dressing room and forcibly rapes her in the process, risking not just his his reputation but his freedom and

risks going to prison for fifteen or twenty years. And was that reckless and that predatory and criminal? Really, I'm sorry, I do not find that credible at all. I just don't you know, this isn't up in the you know, this isn't up in the you know, the Trump Tower late at night, alcohol, he said, She said, this is this is the equivalent of a guy sees, you know, that Trump sees someone in an alley and attacks her and then just you know, runs away. That's that's not

who I mean, That's not who Donald Trump was. Come on, he was a playboy, no question. He's a philander or no question. That's a long that's many, many, many, many many miles away from what she's talking about, forcibly raping a woman in a department store. It's just folks, they're they're so full of hatred for the president they are that they think, here's the real problem. And this is true of Blasi for this is true in a lot of these cases. They think that the lie is justified

by this greater good that they're trying to achieve. I'm sure that in her mind, whatever doubts she has about the truth, whether she knows it's all lie or if there's she saw him or something, you know, there's some way that she makes this seem like less of a lie in her mind. But whatever it is, it's justified by the fact that Donald Trump to the left, is worse than Hitler. So whatever can be done to destroy you.

I mean, if if you could destroy Hitler's persona before he becomes the head of the of the third you know, of the third Right, I mean, would you would you do that? Would you feel justified? I mean, I know it's a crazy question. But they think that Trump is operating concentration camps. They say they think that Trump is a threat to Meanwhile, Trump is somehow a threat to a world peace and stability because he doesn't want to go to war in the Middle East, as we've been

discussing him. And this is those whole Thing's astounding, isn't it. They really hate the fact that President Trump showed restraint here. They would hate it much more if he hadn't showed restraint. But that's just because they hate Trump and all things about him and everything that he does. There's nothing that Trump does that's you know, in any way mitigating in their minds. But you know, as a man, as an American, as somebody who believes in truth and believes in the

presumption of innocence and the rule of law. This destruction of conservative political figures via and you see it more with Donald Trump, but obviously Kavanaugh was the real high watermark of this frenzy. A frenzy the destruction of people with undisprovable allegations of sexual misconduct, rape as all this is, this really tears at us as a society. And this really makes it so that the worst among us, the worst impulses in our politics, are given a means of

being acted out right. I mean, if someone is willing, if someone is willing to bring these allegations, they have a power that's that's irrefutable, even if there's no underlying evidence, even if it looks look at me, this woman, maybe she'll sell more books. Now. I also, by the way, I think that there's you're allowed to bring this into the discussion. I mean, she held back on all this until she was able to benefit personally from it. I

think that that's then fair. I think that's fair game to say, well, why would you wait until you had a book to write about this thirty years later? Isn't it? Isn't it more? Oh, I'm sorry. She cares so much about the women at the border, who she says are being raped, and I guess she means by the car tells. I assume she means that because that is happening. It's not. There's no systematic rape going on in the detention facilities.

But she's so worried about them. What about the women that would have been subjected to the alleged predations of Donald Trump during all those years? She didn't shield them something by coming forward? Now, folks, she's she's lying. It's just not credible. I mean, if she provides evidence, if there's DNA on this dress or whatever, I mean, then I'll change my mind. But based on what she's said right now, it's just not credible. And we have to

maintain this. We have to have critical faculties. When there are horrible allegations made about any person, What are the facts? What do we know? It's not do we like the person or not? And that's what the left is trying to do the trying to change the justicystem to make it about what you like. So I watched the first episode of When They See Us over the weekend, and this is about the Central Park five and the Central Park jogger case from a nineteen eighty nine in case.

Even though I was very young, I remember it being talked about by all the adults around me. I remember this was the most shocking thing to happen in New York City in quite some time, and it was on the front pages of the newspapers for a long time, and everybody's really focused on this. So I have memories of this, and you have to remember that. I also when they describe the roots and the areas and the places, and I mean, I know Central Park like the back

of my hand. I know the park very well. In fact, people when they post on Instagram and they're anywhere in the park, I usually even if there's not a major landmark around, I can usually tell with a pretty high accuracy where that photo was taken in Central Park, just based on the trees and the paths and what's around them. So I've spent a lot of time. They're played all of my grammar school and high school sports in Central Park ran I believe it or not, It used to

be a long distance runner. I used to run frequently on all the trails there, so I know exactly where this is. So I just by way of background, this is all very It all felt very hit, very close to home to us. You know, my own mother and my own sister jogged in the park for years and years and years, and you know, I would jog in the park, and it was it was also always really the beating heart of a lot of ways for a lot of people felt like the maybe not the beating heart,

but the the oasis of New York City. I mean everybody. It really feels like Manhattan was built around Central Park. So the idea that Central Park would be seated at times to criminal elements rampaging around it really affected people

and was deeply upsetting. And there had been for a long time stories about muggings and violence and things in the park, but it usually wasn't quite as as vicious, It wasn't quite as as horrific in any given year as what you saw with the Central Part jogger case, which was just horrible beyond words, and so over the weekend, I watched this one episode of the of the When They See Us Show, and then I went and I thought to myself, Okay, all right, I'm before I start

drawing any conclusions about this, although it's hard not to because I'm pretty familiar with the case. Before anyone says, have you read all of the There are two hundred thousand pages of information that have been released about that case, and my understanding, there's actually a lot more information that we publicly released this fall, including information that I think will be very, very damaging to the exoneration case, such as it is. But you don't have to be familiar

to keep in mind. I mean, the jury didn't read all two hundred thousand pages either. I mean, this is at some point a lot of this is just information to have that people will go to for reference. But there are key facts, key facts about this that you should know. Before I can get into those key facts, a few things. The way that the actors the actors were cast in this movie versus Worth the actors looked like in real life. I just mean in terms of

their size and physicality. That alone, it is very reminiscent of how you had if you remember Trayvon Martin. The photo that was always being used to show Trayvon Martin by the media and where there was active medium malpractice. I mean there were people who there was a woman who was fired from I think it was either an ABC or NBC affiliate in Florida for doctoring the audio and playing a doctored audio to make it sound like, uh,

what was his name is? Zimmerman was racist? Right? You know George Zimmerman, who, keep in mind, is like the first white Hispanic I'd ever heard of before. I mean, the guy's half Hispanic, he looks Hispanic, but they they called him white because it was more important for their for their narrative. So so the press was putting their thumbs on that scale, no question about it. And they kept using this photo of Trayvon Martin from when he was twelve years twelve or thirteen years old. He was

eighteen during that fight. He was eighteen six feet tall, one hundred and eighty five pounds. Why are you showing a photo of a twelve year old all the time. I mean it just like an eighth grade graduation cap. That's there's a reason they're doing that, right. This is also you see this in, folks, This is why there's no such thing as a truly objective media. There's no such thing that's just journalism in just the facts. Look

at the photos that they pick of different senators. Look at how they depict people when there's some subjectivity involved in it. Some people always get their best photos picked. Some people always look like Darth Vader when the photos picked of them. This is all done on purpose, you know, this is all done for a certain effect and to

bring about a certain response from the audience. But the kid that they have playing Richardson in this documentary looks to be about ten or eleven years old, and he's crying. He's just crying and crying, crying for mommy. And I mean it looks like they have taken a kid out of you know, drawing with crawns in the nursery room and are screaming at him and threatening his parents. And Okay,

let's get to the reality. Because I watched the entire Richardson interrogation tape over the weekend, which you can do. You can see for yourself, and what you see, there is a pretty sizeable sixteen year old kid. I mean, one that I could tell you you know if if he came at you and you weren't expecting it. And remember, these kids all admitted to punching people, clotheslining people. They admitted. That was all admitted. They were engaged in gang violence

in the park that was known. This is understood. They went around as a mob attacking people, including a jogger before this, the woman that became known as the Central Park jogger who's mail that they almost beat to death with a pipe had to go to the hospital fractured skull. So that's these civil rights heroes were part of gang mob violence in the park. Almost killed a guy. And by the way, if you're part of that, if you run up and kick somebody when they've already had their

head caved in, you're that's a gang violent statute. You go away for or for ten years for that. Just for that, these kids all got treated as except for one, as juveniles. I'm wondering for five years. Some of you I know have come at me on the email over this. Look, I appreciate the robust exchange of ideas. If you think these these people were interested, you're wrong. I've I know all of the counter theories and the facts that none

of this is compelling at all. You cannot explain to me why it is that Richardson again, because he's he's really key to this. There's you know, Carrie Wise, and there's there's obviously five of them. But why Richardson is picked up the night of you, Oh, don't even sorry. I get very the Netflix show, which is now being treated like it's a it's a documentary and it's the reality,

and it's not. It's completely sensationalized. In one scene, they show bicyclist driving past them in the park and the kids all go, you know, ooh, and kind of make some scary noise at them. As they know, they chase them down and tried to knock them off the bicycle and probably beat their heads to a pulp like they did the other guy and like they did by the way to the jogger. That's right, these guys were guilty.

We can all sit here and say oh, no, no, no, until someone explains to me why Richardson, who was a part of gang violence that same time. I'm gonna say gang violence, I mean group mob violence, right, doesn't mean I'm not saying he was in an established gang, but he was part of mob violence was in the park for that purpose. Someone tell me why he is picked up by a black detective, by the way, who that night had no idea that there had even been a

rape in the park. And when they're questioning him and they asked how he got a scratch over next to his eye, says that your part says that the other cop did that to me. Now, let's just unpack this for a second. A little scratch. What cop takes his fingernail and does a little scratch under the eye of a of a teenage kid they're picking up for unlawful

assembling in the park. Now, I'm not saying that cops haven't done bad stuff and haven't ever taken out of baton and you know, wrapped a kid on the hands or on the knees or something. A little scratch with a fingernail into the eye. I know a lot of cops, folks, I worked with a lot of cops. They don't they don't say, hey, don't move, I'm gonna scratch you under the eye. Sir Richardson had a scratch under his eye. This is all a matter of record. Says that the

other cop did it. Cop says this is all on tape, folks, This is all on record. Other cops says, or the cop says, Okay, we're gonna bring him in here. Is that really what happened? Basically saying do you want to say this to that other guy's face? And like, you're really gonna say that he scratched you under the eye with his fingernail? How would that have happened? And then he goes, no, the woman did it when I was

trying to hold her down. How does that happens if he's not there and a part of this whole thing, How does he know to say that? Why? Why is the woman did it all of a sudden the thing that he says. Why does one of their friends, who is a teenage girl who thought that she was helping one of the Central Park five, why does she tell the cops, well, no, he didn't actually rape her. He just held her down while the other guy did. Did someone coerce her? You look at these confessions. These confessions

are not coerced. These kids are sitting there retelling what they know to have happened. They knew facts they could only know if they had been there, and if they were there in any capacity involved in the assault, even if it was just to run up and touch her on the shoulder while she was being violated. They are guilty. Do we have to live in this world where we can't deal in reality anymore? I mean, are there's still people running around with think O J didn't do it.

You don't see this as a giant payoff to al Sharpton by de Blasio his administration comes in? What about what about Malee? What about the woman who was attacked? Do you ever hear about her? She didn't want this settlement to be made. She thought they were multiple attackers, not one attacker. She was so beaten in brain damage that her memory of it is largely blacked out. But she thought there were multiple attackers. Medical examination of her,

multiple sized handprints on her. Someone want to explain that, well, the DNAs on her. All the DNA proved is that somebody also raped her who was not there, which was initially the theory of the case. They knew this at the time, somebody else was involved and got away. Or are we to believe it's coincidence that that guy who was a completely sadistic, homicidal rapist, who should be if you believe the death penalty that guy Reus. I mean

I would throw the switch myself. Do we think that he just happened to have a beef in prison with one of the Central Park five and they had problems with each other just because because they did carry wise, they had beef in prison. Why do you think they had beef in prison because Rays had gotten away with it? Does someone does there another explanation? Rikers is a big place, folks. Somebody who is Central Park five and Reys happened to be fighting in prison? Why was that? Huh? Why would

they be fighting? Explain this? I mean, there are all these points that that cannot be explained by who. Good Dan eggsoneration. This is like you know whose streets are

streets occupied? Walster? It's just slogans. It's nonsense. Why wouldn't the city at least go to court to present its side of the case instead of writing a check for over forty million dollars forty million dollars to a group of kids who are part of mob assaults all night in the park and who admitted on video with their legal guardians present to questioning that I have heard you can watch the videos, folks, don't watch the Netflix thing. You better do this or we're gonna get your dad

fired from his job. It's all lies. You watch the actual interrogations, completely respectful, completely professional. You know, what is this? What is the message that people really think they're the

system is so racist? That's what they think happened, Yet that the system was racist, because I want to know that they captured a bunch of kids who were engaged in criminal activity, serious criminal activity, by their own admission, admitted to doing something horrible based on facts that they could have only known if they were at least there. And then all of a sudden, the city decides, for would seemed like transparently political reasons that they're just gonna

pretend like this thing never happened. I mean, if the people running the justice system in any context decide that there's something more important than the actual system, there's very little you can do about it. Look at Jesse Smilett. Now maybe there's a special prosecutor, but yeah, Kim Fox, like Jesse wanted to help him out, made the whole thing go away, locked it all up, nothing, no case, no publicity for the case either, no no information to be public. Just made it all go away. This is

a reverse of that. In a sense, this is, oh, we're gonna exoner these people do not have this city defended by the NYPD. People that I talked to you about this case, furious about it, furious right around when this was happening in New York City. And this is why this is near and dear to my heart, meaning that it's important. I mean, not like yeah, but this is something that really hits home. Right around when this case happened, I mean, New York City was getting over

eighteen hundred, two thousand murders a year. I think it hit an absolute peak in nineteen ninety with twenty two hundred and forty five murders over one hundred thousand robberies reported a year in New York City. One hundred thousand. That's a lot. There was lawlessness, There was a fear on the streets. I know because I grew up there and I remember, and then I lived there for years after where the fear was gone. New York City, folks,

if you're listening now, it's very safe. I mean no city is perfectly safe, but it's a very safe place. You should have no fear going to New York of a great time. This is the night and day compared to what it was when I was a kid, when when this Central Park jogger case happened. We were always told, you know, gotta watch out, people gonna rob you, people gonna attack you, and like gotta be careful in the streets, and you know, don't go at certain places at night

and all this. You know, the criminal element had taken control of part of the city. It was like an insurgency, and it was an insurgency that had to be fought. And this like retelling of the history, were the real problem, you see, the real enemy. The real thing we have to be worried about is the police racism. Oh that's the story. Not to those of us who actually lived in New York City in the eighties and the nineties, folks,

that was not the real story. The real story was there are criminals running around all over the place, not getting in trouble and not getting caught. That was the problem. Thank you Rudy Giuliani for changing that. I don't know as agree with everything Juliani says these days, but man, he turned that city around. It was a miracle. It was a miracle. But now now they questioned the tactics. They don't even question now. They say it's racist. It's all racist. So someone explained to me how how you

have these I mean, I'm open to it. Explain to me how you have the Oh, it's if your story is that just the cops pinned it on these kids, when that woman was alive and could have woken up any day and said that it was one guy, here's who did it. And then they the whole police would have looked horrible, would have risked their careers, their livelihoods to get a bunch of random kids in trouble. It's an unserious point of view, folks. The cops didn't set

them up. So if the cops didn't set them up, how do they know things that they could not have known unless they were there on the record on tape. Ah, I don't know. It sounds like a pretty strong, circumstantial case. All right, We'll be right back, all right, seem sorry. I got a little passionate about that last one. I probably spent way too much time reading through transcripts and watching the videos, and I'm gonna I'm gonna make myself watch the rest of this Netflix documentary. But you know.

I hate wrongful convictions when they happen, I really do. And I think that a lot of innocent people rather a lot of guilty people should go free to prevent one innocent people from one innocent person from going to jail. I do believe that. I just don't believe those kids

were innocent. I don't believe it. I've looked at all the different theories and all the different evidence that's out there, and what's going on now where there's this witch hunt for everyone involved in the case, like they should be punished after the fact. That's completely immoral, it's totally wrong. I reach out to the one and only Ann Coulter today. She said she'll come on sometime this week to give us her view. That's gonna be h it's gonna be

some fun stuff, So we will we will get into it. Um. I want to hear from Anne on this one, because she's she's fearless and she's as on this case as anybody else that I know, and I've never seen her have to retract something about this or be wrong in anything on any legal case for that matter. But well, hopefully we'll get an later this week, and then we've

got a big third hour coming up. Stay with me about whether or not I apologize to coddle the reputations of segregations of people who, if they had their way, I would literally not be standing here as I remember Senate is I think, um, it's just it's misinformed. Kamala Harris going for it against Joe Biden. There they're not letting this, not letting this go. Biden, who was Obama's vice president, his at least politically speaking, his right hand man for eight years. All of a sudden, the left

has figured out that Biden's a racist. What how does that work? Someone explained that one to me, Now, all of a sudden, Biden's a racist. They didn't know this for the eight years that he was Oh okay, because he said something recently about working with senators, including senators who were segregationists at the time. One the I think the really clear hit on Biden among all this, put aside the part as an angle of it for a second, is that Biden's been in the Senate way too long.

This is a guy who should have been doing other things in life too. I don't I don't think this is a badge of honor. I know that I'm here in the swamp, I'm in DC, and we're supposed to all stand and applaud and stand and clap when we hear that so and so senator or so and so congressman has been around for thirty years or forty years

or whatever. No. No, I would prefer if they did a couple of terms and then went out, went about being a normal human being and lived among their fellow citizens and got a real job, like a job job. But instead you have that Biden is the prototypical permanent political class figure. He is as much a creature of the Senate as anybody else in the Senate right now, and that he is also out of touch. And it seems like in any minute he's going to ask if somebody can give him a walkman so he can listen

to all the latest cool tunes. Yo. That seems like he's he's a guy who he's out of touch, and he's a guy who doesn't really know where the heart and soul of the country is right now, which is not surprising given how long the guy's been around and been in the game. And he's lost he's lost whatever edge or whatever touch he had in the past. Even assuming that he was something of a fraud and a

Charlottan all along, which I believe he was. But the other lesson from this is that for the social justice left, no one is safe. In a sense. This is not a new lesson. This is just what we have already seen for some time. But it doesn't even matter if your Biden's VP. If the woke left wing journal class designs that you aren't somebody that they need to make an example of, you're going down. They're gonna do it.

They're gonna they're gonna take you out. They're gonna find a way to ruin your reputation, make you sound like all that other stuff you had done in your life. No matter how much you had worshiped at the altar of diversity, no matter how much you had pushed social justice and multiculturalism and all of these central themes. To the progressives, you are disposable, and they'll and it's not just that your disposables, and they'll fight against you if

you stand in their way. They will still say that you're a racist. Nobody is immune from the left charges of racism, because if you're a minority who disagrees to the left then they say that you're a traitor to your race, which we know they very openly do all the time. And if you're a white person, even if you had been in the good graces of the progressive left for a long time, if you've been an ally, as they call it, the moment that you are no

longer useful, they will dispose of you. They do not need you anymore, and they will come at you with the very same tools of destruction they use, you know, the same. How do you defend yourself against a critique or an assault of racism? How do you do How do you prove that you're not a racist? Prove you're not a racist? This thing you said a bunch of powerful minorities and the Democrat Party say that it's racist. Prove it's not. It's kind of a hard thing to do,

isn't it. But then crazy Joe comes along. Is he Sleepy Joe? It's probably crazy Joe and sleepy Joe, And he decides that instead of I don't know if taking the high road is even really an option for this guy ever, but he thought it would be best to just go even further and say one of the crazier things I've heard in a while. This to me is Joe Biden trying to establish some kind of bonafides with minority community. This is Joe Biden trying to reach out and say, see, I'm hip, I'm cool. I know, like

what's going on in the urban sector. Man. So then Joe Biden says things like this play clip one. There's so much we can do, and it's within our capacity to do it. That's the interesting thing. And I think what's happening now as I think that Donald Trump may have reawakened the sensibilities in this country to say, whoa, maybe we can do this now, just like our generation was awakened when Doctor King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.

At whole generation, I'm back in man. These millennials they get it right, and now they want to get engaged. These millennials, man, they get it. Yeah. He's a Joe Biden's a hip cat. Yeah he's like he's such a panther. Yeah, he's smooth, he's cool, he's Joe Biden. Yeah. Hey, you know, like he's like, all of a sudden, he's Duke Silver

Ron Swanson's jazz playing alter ego. Duke Silver, which is one of the great parts of the Ron Swanson character from Parks and rec Joe Biden just compared the election of Donald Trump to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. As a wake up call the people that remember the Joe and so, you know, put you all back in Chain's guy. I mean, he he doesn't dog whistle, he dog loudspeakers, you know. He he just blasts out stuff to try to burnish his credentials with certain communities. And

it's appalling. It's appalling. But I've I've you will agree. I think team sorry again, my coole has not something gone. So my voice will be breaking sometimes during the show. You will recall that I've said along Biden's not their guy. He's not their guy. He's just not good enough. He's

just not compelling enough. He's I don't want to say he's a loser because he has managed to get reelected to the Senator, you know, but jillion times, but he's there's no reason for Biden to be president, and everyone kind of knows that not Trump is not enough. There has to be more than that. And that's why you've seen the Practorian guard media. It's very much like the last scene in Gladiator, which is really a great movie,

really holds up well. Remember the last scene in Gladiator when Maximus is fighting against Commodus in the ring in the arena and the Praetorian Guard surrounds him, and then Commudist, who has been disarmed by a wounded Maximus, wants one of the Praetorian Guard members to give him a sword who can finish off Maximus, and none of them will

do it. Joe Biden's running around of the Praetorian Guard media saying, Hey, aren't you guys gonna, you know, hold up your shields high and protect me, And they're like, nah, Joe, sorry, we're gonna have to fight this one out on your own. And you know, Obama has known this all along, which is why he hasn't endorsed Joe Biden. He's known, He's known that Biden was Biden was just in the right place at the right time and got to be VP.

Otherwise he was just a pretty, you know, replaceable senator from Delaware and who really cares at the end of the day, and was on the wrong on foreign policy. Don't eve get me started. And Biden's been on the wrong side of every major foreign policy for forty years. That's not even just my analysis. That's what Bob Gates, who's a lifelong defense bureaucrat, you know, was sect deaf and comes to the intelligence community the Secretary of Defense

he was. Now he said that about Biden. It's right, whenever there's an important foreign policy decision to make, you should just think, what does Joe Biden want to do? That's the opposite. I can tell you this just by way of personal ancdote. I was working on the Iraq desk of the CIA when I heard Joe Biden give a speech to about fifty people when he was point zero zero one percent in the polls in two thousand and eight, and his idea was that we should break

Iraq up into three countries. Maybe it was even two thousand, No, two thousand and eight. Yeah, we should break Iraq up into three countries, which sounds fine, except that the whole problem is how you break it up. And that's why there was already some degree of ethnic cleansing going on in the country, where there are people getting rid of either sooner or Shia from or Kurds from whole neighborhoods, and if you made that official, it just would have

heightened the stakes even more. It was a horrible idea, a horrible idea, But that was Joe Biden's big that was his big winning solution at the time. So the Left is not going to cover for Biden anymore. You're gonna watch, They're gonna He's gonna get torn apart. I'm telling you he will no longer be number one of the poles by labor Day. That's my prediction to you.

He will not last number one through labor day. Do you think human induced climate emergency is a threat to the United States, Well, what I will tell you is that we'll always follow the science on that in this administration, the science. But what we won't do, and the Clean Power Plan was all about that was hamstringing energy in this country, raising the costs of utility rates for working

families across this country. But all other nations like China and India do absolutely nothing or make illusory promises decades down the road to deal with it. But it is what people are calling a climate emergency. Is it a threat? Do you think it's a threat? Man made climate emergency is a threat I think the answer to that is going to be based up on the science. But the

science says yes, I'm asking you what you think. There's many in the science that the science community have been your own administration at Noah, I got at the at the DNI. They all say, it's like, look some reason, Oh the smug lib Tapper, look at that sciences. It's a threat, Tapper, what do you know about science? Nothing? Let's start with that. Second, of all, science is not about consensus and politicized opinion making from within bureaucracies. Okay,

it's a threat. What degree of threat? I mean? I wish I were there. Pence is a nice guy, but he's he's not ready for the smarmy lib propagandist like Jake Tapper. He's just not up for the task. I think. Unfortunately, he keeps dancing around the issue. We don't want to make the utilities. Yeah, that's true, we don't make utilities, sire. Okay, let's say it is a threat. How much of a threat,

mister Tapper? Do you think that it's enough of a threat that we should abandon the carbon fuel based economy that we currently have that has led to untold prosperity that is necessary for the feeding of billions of people around the world, for heating and cooling and electricity. Should we just toss that aside? What level of threat is this? Here's a better way of asking the question, folks, what is what is the possibility? What is the threat profile of me being hit by a meteor in the next

twenty four hours. I could sit there and ask Jake to Jake Tapper, do do you is it a threat that you could be hit by a meteor The science says it is a threat. It's probably one in you know, fifty trillion, But it's a threat. He can't say that won't happen, that a meteorite won't won't strike his home when he's asleep in it. So this is but this is what the propagandist does. Get you to concede a very broad, very vague point, and then try to make you do everything they want Beyond that, is man made

climate change a threat? I mean sure, I think it's a one in a million threat that anything really bad is going to happen to the world because of man made climate change, maybe even one in ten thousand. I'm not losing any sleepover the people that are the catastrophist who say it's an urgent threat are generally hypocrites and are entirely unserious about doing anything real to stop it.

But they want control of everything in your life now, the economy, they want control of the political system, they want control of electricity, of business, of commerce now. Because it's such a threat. No, I don't want to give them that power. So I was a little disappointed. I mean, Pence, I don't know why he why I just think that he's not Look, he's a nice guy. I think he's an ethical and a good fellow. But he's no one

ever said that he's a real intellectual pugilist. He's not somebody who I've ever seen really mix it up with somebody. And notice Tapper, you know, belolent us Dad, he's just kind of snippy with him at the end. He's just such a jerk. Do you think he was ever disrespectful like that? The Vice President Biden, who's an imbecile by the way, as we've been discussing, really is it's just just a just a fraud, just a glorified used appliance salesman.

No offense to the used appliance salesman listening to the show. Okay, I just thought of you know, that's just what came to mind. You're doing an honorable thing, and it's it's a decent living I don't know, use Shamlow salesman. There we go. Everyone always likes that one. Use Shamlow salesman. You know, he's just he's dealing with you know. Also, why they will do this interview with Tapper in this way, you know, you know, within DC, people go, oh, it's

one of the Sunday shows. You only people who care about this live in DC really and do media commentary about the people who live in DC. But the science says, is it a threat? And the science says these are such this is what Tapper is trying to box Pence in with. And these are such vague terms as to just be meaningless other than as a tool of propaganda. The science says this it's a really really big threat. Okay, what do we do about that threat? How big a threat is it? And what do we do about it?

That's what really matters. But if you concede their initial points, then they think everything else follows. Then we have to do I mean, he I would have turned around said Jake, do you think the Green New Deal is serious? And then you go, oh, I'm not asking the classie and I eat all the stumbling. Do you think this is why these CNN anchors they have to be coddled and kept only on certain shows. They'll do The Colbert Show,

which might as well be an extension of CNN. Now, I mean, it's just the politics are all completely aligned. They'll go to places where everyone claps for them and no one challenges them. They never have real exchanges with people that know what's up. They never do. None of the good conservatives that I know these days will even go on CNN really for as you start with that,

none of the none of the real deal people. And it's a combination if they're not asked on or they just realize that they're gonna be on and be shouted at and they're gonna be one of five people on air, and it's just not worth anyone's time. But I was a little frustrated here because I think that that Pence, first of all, should have known that he's going in to speak to Smarmie Tapper, who is a smart man.

As I've told you, he is a nasty person. And it's very frustrating to be in the business and know that someone like Tapper, who's always, oh, just everything is about building his brand, and he's this newsman. He's a jerk, he's not a nice guy. Has a very bad reputation among those who aren't at CNN. I can tell you that. And you know, Penn should have known better. Penn should have been able to fight back a lot more. All right, So, so should we go green new deal? Should we kill

all the cows, stop all the farting? We rebuild all the houses? What's the amount? What's the amount of emergency activity that is justified by this threat? Oh? But the International Panel on client the International Panel on Climate Change is not scientists for the most part. It's actually bureaucrats work for the UN. And also they give a range, a range of what they think of temperature will be, a range of what they think the man made warming will turn out to be. They don't know there is

giving you an estimate. And by the way, the estimates that have given the past we're wrong. So we're to ignore that now. And he just lives have really lost it. They focus in on all these things that are either never going to happen, or are or just crazy, and they don't realize it's crazy. They think that you and

I are the crazy ones. I mean, Tapper, I'm sure went home, you know, probably stopped by the fancy country club on the way on Sunday and then went into like, you know, his whatever castle he lives in here in DC, courtesy of Jeff Zucker and CNN International and all that, and you know, probably thought that he had done some

great service for humanity by hammering a climate change skeptic. Meanwhile, every person that I know that debates this issue with the other side and who is familiar with not just the facts, but the basic logic and reasoning involved in this argument, the climate change hysterics get crushed, get crushed because ultimately you see who the big names are on that side. They're not They're not scientists that have policy proposals that are serious. It's AOC, it's Al Gore, it's

Leonardo DiCaprio. This is just another giant vanity play. That's what's at the heart of so much liberal policy in this good liberal politics. It's just vanity, it's all. I'm so great. I think this because I'm smart. I think this because I'm nice. A lot of stuff that I think is a conservative I'm like, man, it'd be fun to believe the other stuff, you know, it'd be fun to believe that, like everyone just do whatever they want?

Who really cares? But no, I try to live in the real world where there's cause and effect and consequence and individual responsibility and things like that. But it'd be a lot more fun to be a live be a lot more fun to be smug Tapper, fake Jake coming after Mike Pence. I look, I like Pence, but he need to do a better job pushing back on that stuff. We're at back. You know, this is one of my favorite topics, which is that what does science really know?

What does science really know? I like to ask that question because we think science knows a lot, and then we think more about it, we realize science got a long way to go on a lot of stuff. And today just as another one for that. You know, it is milk good for you, our eggs good for you? Is butter good for you? Should you eat before or after working out? Should you do intermitted fasting, or should you spread six to eight meals throughout the day? Shitty

blah b blah by blah. No one really seems to know. And I understand there are more complicated answers out there, like, well, you should do what works for you, what's right for you, and our genetics aren't all the same. Ah. Genetics play a very important role in all of our lives, but we are constantly made to believe, made to think that genetics are irrelevant. If I had wanted to be a All Star wide receiver, I just needed to work harder

at it, Right, that's what I'm told. It's not really true and barely scraping the bottom of six feet and I was never going to run a four four forty. But nonetheless, we're all told it's just a matter of your hopes and dreams and chasing them. Right. Our genetics are all different, our bodies react differently to different things, that is true. But you would think something as straightforward as vitamin D supplements and heart health would be within

the purview of science to determine. And today there's a study was up on Drudge Report, and this is what it says. If you're taking vitamin D supplements every day to improve your heart's health and reduce your chances of suffering from cardio vascular disease, You're likely wasting your money. Researchers from Michigan State University say that both men and women who take vitamin D aren't any more protected against heart attack, strokes, or related heart conditions than those who don't.

The authors were surprised by their discovery since prior research pointed to a link between lower levels of vitamin D in the blood and cardio vascular disease. Researchers this is all from study fines dot org. Researchers gathered data from twenty one clinical trials, assessing results of more than eighty three thousand patients. Across these studies, half the pridisms took vitamin D supplements, the other half took placebos. No changes

between the two of them. So it's a very very big study about whether vitamin D will help your heart or not. Vitamin D supplements Will this help your heart? I guess people have thought this for a long time. Turns out that when you really do a large scale

study of this, the answers no. It doesn't. Just keep in mind that until about i'd say ten years ago maybe, although I'm guessing there was a belief that the dietary cholesterol you ate was what caused bad cholesterol in the blood stream that could lead to a blockage in the heart attack. And now it turns out that that's not really true, and in fact, eating too much sugar and elevated glucose levels and the blood over long period of time and type two diabetes and also a heart disease.

That that's the much bigger concern. We're still just figuring out the basics. Folks. This is what I really come down to. We have all these discussions over healthcare and medicine, and it's a little scary when you go in and you know what the doctors don't know, and you start asking some questions. They have been very well trained at identifying ailments and generally speaking, either treating the symptoms of the ailments or trying to find some mechanical way to

correct the issue. That's for orthopedic surgery or heart surgery. Just change the physical structure of your body with surgery. But when you get into the root cause of different ailments and how to really treat them, it's I'm not saying they don't know anything, but there's a lot of we are you know, we are in the infancy of our species. When it comes to knowledge about medicine and the human body, we are really in our infancy. There's

still so much that is not known. We have this massive, you know, health industrial complex out there, and it really is still driven by a work. Where are the dollars going. It's going to testing, it's going to treatment, not cure. There's just it's amazing to me. I keep finding more and more of these areas of human health where you really have to take it upon yourself to figure out what works for you and to the degree that you

can become your own doctor. You know, that's really That's really what I think you need to just take from this is that you have to and I say, don't go to the doctor, but I mean, you have to become your own forget forget to be your own doctor. That's a bad way of saying it. You have to be your own health advocate, your own health advocates. So

does vitamin D work? According does eighty three thousand patients study? No, So a lot of people have been taking vitamin D and just because maybe there's a placebo effect, who knows? Roll calls up Rock and Roll fellow patriots. We made ours go up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Roll call, everybody. Yeah, it's the roll call. I don't know if that Yeah, you know what. I'm leaning into it today because I still have a call, but it's

not as bad as it was. So waking up not feeling incredibly sick makes you appreciate a little more that you Your health is a thing that you need. Your health is important. That's that is for sure. Facebook dot Com slash buck sex in for roll call and let's get to it, Melissa Radio appropriate. Well, that's good to know because I'm reading it on live radio. Melissa. The husband is trapped in the swamp. Any suggestions on a

great place to eat. He's over by the arena for the next week and could use a good meal or two, something heavily meat based. Thanks and shields. Hie oh, Melissa, I would say, mm. And there's a lot of a lot of territory here. I would tell him to go to Old Ebbit Grill if he wants one of the old standbys here in DC for a nice steak and a very old school vibe. The Old Ebbit Grill's right next to the White House. For something a little more spicy and interesting, he could check out some of the

Jose Andreas restaurants here. He could go to Oyamel, which is Jose Andreas. I believe you could also go to Ze Tinia, which is an old stand by here. And if he wants Mexican, I would say go to Espica Mesclaria if he wants something that's a little bit of a classic. Oh and obviously for a burger, go to the T International Hotel. There we go. I feel like I should be sponsored by them at this point. I'm talking about the Trump a lot here on the show.

Those would be my out So i'd say old that mc grill eSpeak to him as Claria, Oyamel, and Trump International, those would all be very good choices. DC's got a lot of restaurants, but a lot of mediocre restaurants and a lot of chain restaurants. And if you're a visitor, I feel like you generally don't want to be spending your time and money on a restaurant you could go to at home. Right, So I'm sure there's like a Ruth's Chris here somewhere, but there's also that in a

lot of other cities. So I would not recommend for a visitor to go check that out. Katie rights, hey buck. For the longest time, the ruling polite circles has been no religion and no politics. Now politics has gone cutthroat and something as benign as knitting. For the last few years, the knitting website Ravalry has been a vocal supporter of progressive ideology. Today they announced a ban on Trump supporters. Oh no, banning Trump supporters from the knitting community. What's

next the crocheting community? Have you no decency? Knitting community? I can't even I don't even know enough about knitting to make more jokes than that. I got nothing, So what's the problem with just dropping them? Ravelry has established themselves as a compendium of nit and crochet. There we go, crochet patterns and a vital reference for knit professionals and hobbyists.

As an indie pattern designer, that sounds cool, Katie. No one will find my patterns without this ubiquitous knitter's tool. So I'm shooting myself in the foot. But I'm removing my patterns from Ravelry. I hope users leave Ravelry in droves. I don't know how much cross over there is but you have listeners who use this resource, I encourage them to go to the designers directly rather than buying through ravelry.

Thanks Katie, Katie, very interesting. Give me a little peek behind the scenes into the rough and tumble world of the crochet and knitting wars. Good to know that you're holding your shield high or your yarn ball. Harry, Oh, Harry, I don't know what you did. You send Harry, what happened? Whatever you sent me, it's not showing up. Pablo, hey Buck, you said you were looking for a rum that's not

made from grain. Try Cruise on Rum. It's made in Saint Croix and even the lowest tier can be consumed on the rocks, although I do recommend spending a little more on the upper tier. Also, try Gosling's Black Seal. It's made in Bermuda and it's really easy to drink. If you don't like dark rum, steer clear of Goslings shields high. Pablo, Well, Pablo, muchos grassias, my friend, appreciate

you sending this in um. Let's see here. I thought rum was generally made from sugarcane and so it wouldn't be glutinous, but sometimes they'll mix in some malt flavor or malt malt with the beverage that will I don't know why. They'd probably just to cut it make it cheaper. But so some spirits, you have to be careful because I'll mix in some malt liquor with it that comes from a grain. All right, Pablo, thank you for I will check that out. Let's try cruise on rum. Check

out some cruise on rum. Chris sent me a clip from Homeland. Thank you, Chris. Andre all right, something she wants me to share. I gotta read that later. And Jim right, Buck, it's been weeks since you took a call on air from Team Buck. I love my wife of twenty five years with all my heart. I could never listen to her fifteen hours a week. What the heck is up? What's wrong? Address this? Fix this? Well? Tim?

You know, Matt. Sometimes we open the lines and we don't get we don't get folks that are calling in the way we want them too. So I mean I'll do it. Don't don't get me wrong. We'll open up the lines again. But if we open up the lines, those of you who like calls need to call, because I get a lot more complaints when we take calls.

Then I get requests that we take calls. I'm just telling you, I'll look, I'm I'm in the pleasing Team Buck business, and we always I if I open up the lines for more and a half an hour, we take, you know, a couple of segments worth the calls. I got a lot of people saying, look, you know, the calls are fine, but people can write in and we can do a role call. You don't have to do that. I'm glad that you like the calls, Tim, and I love talking to you guys. So we'll do it. We'll

open it up. And I'm just saying every time I say all right, guys, lines are open, and we do that. And then if we're not feeling like we're getting lit up like a Christmas tree, you know we gotta or if we get a lot of complaints about the calls from other people in Team Buck, you know it's a balancing act, my man, I gotta keep gotta keep the team happy. But I'm taking your I'm taking your suggestion suggestion speak English Buck under advisement. Let's see. Donna writes Buck,

I love your broadcast. I want to apologize for a message about the podcast speed. My granddaughter messed with the speed of the act. Well, Donna, sometimes it's on our end with the podcast mess up, and sometimes it is not. So there you go. There's that going on. Let's see, Misty, I wouldn't necessarily consider all of AOC's Twitter followers to be supporters. She is so insanely stupid. I would assume many follow her for entertainment value. Shields high, Misty, I

think you're correct. I mean I follow AOC and I'm certainly not an AOC supporter. I just go back and forth on whether she is more about, you know, whether she's somebody that's more entertaining or more frightening, because I can make a case for both. I think she really is indicative of a mindset that is taking over the left. I don't think that it's I don't think that she's an anomaly. I don't think she's an outlier. I think

that she is where the left is now. Bill Rights, hold on, Phil, rather rights, no need to watch the whole movie. When there's YouTube. Here's a clip of doctors Strange Glove, Major Kong rides the bomb. All right, Phil, I'll have to watch that when I'm not on the air. Thank you. Max. All Right, Hey Buck, the last hour on Wednesday still gets preempted in Boston. Could Chuck and Nancy be behind this? Oh Man shield tie Max? Max,

Just type in the Buck Sexton Show Fantastic, which is a pretty cool name. Hey, Buck, you asked about sipping rum. I like Thomas Choose rum brewted Newport,

Rhode Island and Plantation rum sixty nine percent overproof. They're both very tasty, but be careful of the overproof. It'll knock you down pretty quickly. Well, Fantastic, I have the I have the tolerance of a you know, one hundred and ten pounds sorority girl right now in terms of what I can drink before I get lit, So I'll have to be careful with that sixty nine proof over

proof rather rum. Yeah. I think about the drinking habits of my peers in college and what I can handle now if I have more than three glasses of wine the next day, I'm like, I'm so slow. I can't move, you know it really three three glasses of wine. People in DC make fun of me because that's some of the rowdy, younger Trump supporters that I associate with. They can drink quite a bunch more in there, and they're in their late twenties and early thirties, so they still

have those those booze legs. I'm I'd like to go home and drink tea and wear pajamas and watch Netflix in the piece of my own home. That's how I rock out, That's how I get down. Ah, let's see Richard rights. You can say a Buck Sodomyor is a moron and an Obama's dude. Richard Sodomyor is kind of a moron. And it's amazing that she's on the Supreme Court because you read her, if you read the decisions that are going out under her name, I know the staffs are involved. But she's just not a she's just

not a very sharp intellects. She's just not you know, and it's not a lib thing. I would never tell you that. You know, Kagan is a sharp lady, she's very smart. Ginsburg is a well, I mean, she's slowed down a little bit, but she's also smart. She's just wrong on everything and is a is a a super lib but sort of mean or it's just not smart. I don't know why. You know, people get all you can't say, no, she's just not that smart. I mean she's probably she's probably like you know, i'd say average.

She's a person of average intellect, but has been promoted and pushed through and we're all supposed to believe because she's on the Supreme Court that she's so impressive. Here's a novel thing for some people on the left. Very dumb people can get very far in life. Sometimes they certainly say that about Republicans all the time. Turns out it goes both ways. That's gonna be the show for today. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you thought it was a doozy. We're gonna have a great, great week

on radio. So we should have download that podcast, subscribe to it. Talk to you tomorrow. Shields High
